Surgery

Chances are, at some point, you or someone in your family will face surgery. Even "routine" surgery is not routine when you are the patient. At Mayo Clinic Health System in Springfield, we understand that and work with you and your family to make the experience as positive as possible.

General surgeons provide a wide range of surgical services, such as:

C-sections

Gallbladder removal

Hernia repair

Appendectomies

Breast biopsies

Colon surgery

Rectal surgery

Breast surgery

Tonsil surgery

Carpal tunnel surgery

Cosmetic surgery

Adenoid surgery

Many surgeries now use laser and laparoscopic techniques, which are less invasive and promote quicker recovery periods.
